Germany Deporting Foreign Criminals: Controversy and Repercussions

Image used under license from Shutterstock.com

Following the deportation of Afghans from Solingen, German officials, led by Scholz, are intensifying efforts to expel foreign criminals. The recent knife attacks in Solingen and Frankfurt have sparked debates on national security.

Faeser, the Interior Minister, defends the expulsions for safety concerns. The deportation of a Syrian suspect, Issa Al H., highlights the government's strict stance.

Despite controversy, Faeser justifies providing deported criminals with financial aid to support their livelihoods in Afghanistan. The case of a deported Afghan seeking to return to Germany to be with his pregnant girlfriend underscores the complex issues surrounding deportation policies.

Union criticizes insufficient asylum package

The Union finds the new asylum package proposed by the Federal Government in response to the knife attack in Solingen to be insufficient. They demand stronger measures such as border rejections, application of the Dublin principle, and consistent deportations. The AfD leader criticizes the plans as 'panic PR' ahead of upcoming elections. Mixed reactions within the Greens: the Green Youth criticizes the tightening of asylum laws, while party leader Nouripour praises the plans to strengthen security authorities. CDU politician Jens Spahn calls for the suspension of EU law to respond to Islamist attacks. The police union criticizes the security package and demands simplification of the weapons law and increased police presence. In Italy, the press sees the Solingen attack as confirmation of the need for stricter migration policies. The discussions in the NRW state parliament focus on the government's response to the attack and potential shortcomings in the asylum process. The case highlights the challenges of implementing deportations and the complex jurisdictional structure. The debate on asylum and migration policies raises questions about how other countries, such as Sweden and Denmark, handle the issue. Civil society organizations and church representatives criticize the proposed asylum law changes as unconstitutional and counterproductive. The hunting association calls for a knife ban for asylum seekers instead of stricter regulations for legal gun owners.

Union evaluates the 'security package' of the traffic light ... as insufficient

The Union considers the security package proposed by the traffic light government to be insufficient. They are calling for tougher measures such as rejections at the border, application of the Dublin principle, and consistent deportations. CDU leader Merz met with Chancellor Scholz to discuss the issue, and the government plans talks with states and the Union on migration. Meanwhile, Wagenknecht is advocating for an asylum package similar to Denmark's, which includes border rejections. The Union also criticizes the traffic light government's plans as inadequate and warns of a decrease in registration in neighboring countries. They are pushing for benefit cuts for Dublin refugees and stricter rules for criminal asylum seekers. The Union's demands have also been presented in the Bundesrat. The EU-level discussions on the security package explore possibilities such as deportations to Syria and Afghanistan, agreements with safe third countries, reforms of the Dublin procedure, stronger border controls, and maintaining human rights standards and freedom of movement within the Schengen area. However, experts believe that deportations to Syria are unlikely, and agreements with safe third countries are controversial within the EU. The Dublin procedure faces challenges as states try to shift responsibility for returnees. While the security package includes stricter gun laws and immigration regulations, Lars Castellucci argues that it would not have prevented the recent knife attack but could have aided in enforcing the Dublin rules. The Städte- und Gemeindebund is calling for an additional 100 million euros for the Federal Police to enhance flexibility and rapid response capabilities. They propose effective control of knife bans and increased video surveillance in sensitive areas. The recent fatal knife attack in Solingen, believed to have an Islamist background, has sparked a debate on deportations. The Left Party's leader, Heidi Reichinnek, criticizes the minor measures proposed by the traffic light government, highlighting Left Party's candidates in the upcoming state elections as champions of social justice. Sarna Röser's column likens the traffic light government's economic policies to the pursuit of blame rather than pragmatic solutions. The recent events in Solingen have opened up new possibilities for the traffic light coalition, and there are discussions on who needs to compromise and the remaining obstacles. The Berlin government, the opposition, and police unions have all criticized the federal government's security package, leading to widespread dissatisfaction.
